Meta is allowing online abuse and anti-migrant rhetoric against European politicians to spread across Facebook and Instagram. This comes after the company rolled back key safety protections.
In June, chants of “send them back” echoed in the European Parliament after the Return Regulation vote, a law to speed up the removal of third-party nationals. When MEP Abir Al-Sahlani expressed feeling unsafe, MEP Sebastian Tynkkynen targeted her on Facebook and Instagram.
CCDH analyzed more than 16,000 comments on posts from Al-Sahlani and Tynkkynen about the EU Return Regulation.
Over 40% of the comments contained abuse or anti-migrant sentiment. 251 comments contained misogynistic rhetoric.
This is not an isolated case. Last month, CCDH showed that violent threats against US Members of Congress skyrocketed after Meta rolled back safety policies in 2025.
By allowing abuse to flourish on its platform, Meta is creating an environment of intimidation where democracy fades. It’s time to restore its safety protections.

The world’s largest incel forum has nearly doubled since 2022, according to CCDH research.
More young men are being drawn into toxic misogyny online — and women and girls pay the price offline.
Adolescence just won big at the Golden Globes. But’s warning about incels isn’t just fiction.
We need you to help to curb the spread of incel ideology online. Join us at the link in bio 🔗

8 in 10 popular AI chatbots regularly assisted users planning violent attacks including school shootings, bombings & high-profile assassinations.
In collaboration with @cnn, CCDH researchers posed as would-be attackers, finding that most of the platforms were willing to provide guidance on weapons, tactics, targets, and step-by-step plans for carrying out mass violence.
The conclusion of our research was clear: this is a matter of choice. Safeguards exist.

With landmark social media trials in the U.S. and new online safety regulations emerging around the world, we’re finally entering into an Era of Accountability for Big Tech.

🎬 Behind the scenes of Episode 2 of Nevertheless: Democracy Defenders (out NOW!).
From filming at Elevate Prize winner Imran Ahmed’s home to attending a vigil outside the U.S. Capitol honoring families and young people impacted by online harm alongside the incredible parent survivor Kristin Bride (both in Washington DC), to filming in New York City at the offices or Roberta Kaplan, the attorney representing Imran and his organization, this episode was deeply special to film.
We’re immensely grateful to @imranahmedccdh, Kristin, the @countering_harm team and everyone who trusted us to share their stories. 💛
Thank you to the remarkable crew and our producing partners at @simpsonstreet!

Meta, Google, and TikTok are suing California to block a new law that would restrict addictive features on their social media platforms for kids.
Instead of improving safeguards, they are hiding behind Section 230’s protective shield to try to escape accountability.
Kids’ safety and wellbeing should be more important than a quick buck.
Congress must reform Section 230 and ensure Big Tech is held accountable for harming children.

“Your ugly wh*** of a mother should be hung for having a piece of shit like you.”
This is just one of the replies on X posts of candidates in key battleground states in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections. In total, calls for violence against the 10 candidates researched increased 5x in the week before the election.
X is utterly failing to protect political candidates from calls for violence and other violent abuse in the context of a highly charged election.
These findings echo our “Safety Off” report earlier this year which found that violent threats against politicians on Facebook quadrupled after Meta weakened their own policies.
Allowing the normalization of violence puts our communities and democracy at risk. We must hold social media companies accountable.

Big Tech is putting the integrity of U.S. elections at risk.
Weak safeguards across social media platforms are allowing AI-generated disinformation to spread, mislead voters, and threaten the integrity of our elections.
The consequences put candidates, voters, election workers, and democracy itself at risk.

A recent report from @unicef found that 9 million children experienced unwanted sexual conversations enabled by tech. 15 million were exposed to unwanted sexual content.
Our X-rated research shows how X facilitates these interactions.
CCDH researchers found that accounts registered to 13-year-olds were easily able to join “adult communities” that share sexual materials and open interaction with unknown adults. One account received a message that said “Hey Daddy” after joining an adult community.
X is failing to protect children. EU regulators must act and demand X comply with the Digital Services Act.

Last year, our “Fake Friend” research found ChatGPT willing to provide advice on how to “safely” self-harm to accounts registered to 13-year-olds in just two minutes. An hour later, it wrote the teen account a suicide note.
Now, Texas is suing OpenAI over these egregious failures to protect children. A victory could mean a ChatGPT ban for minors.
These lawsuits are starting a critical movement toward accountability for AI companies, but they are not enough. These measures only work with strongly implemented and enforced regulation.
